Harder

I'm tired of living fucked up & getting treated bad
I'm tired of living check to check, I'm tryna get it fast
Times getting hard & my people down
Way before corona I was looking for a mask
Living life you live & learn that we all make mistakes
But this world is too fucked up its too much shit we got to change
Wake up every morning see another brother killed or slained
Fuck clocking in I'm tired of feeling all this fucking pain
Modern day slaves
& some don't get it
Ain't tryna say I'm woke but I can't help but pay attention
They kidnapping kids
& police still killing
The only way you safe is if you go & get a million, pray my children don't experience this
Forever staying on the grind & I won't ever quit
The government ain't really nothing but some bullshit
Never gave us reparations but they sending out stimulus, man I really don't get this shit Man
It's a cold game
They say we equal but we see that we are not the same
You can kill a crowd & live like nothing changed
While I peaceful protest & they might bust my brain
This shit off the chain
But its gone change
That's the only way
To really make us great
& really elevate
400 years & we still counting up until this day
It's 2020 man this shit still look the fucking same

Times getting & my people down bad
Made it through the storm, hard times don't last
It is what it is & we can't change the past
Divided us by culture, we just had to do the math
Times getting & my people down bad
Made it through the storm, hard times don't last
It is what it is & we can't change the past
Divided us by culture, we just had to do the math

If it ain't live, then it ain't me
Live from the main street
Got to watch my back cause niggas on my street be watchin' me
Paranoid waking up from cold sweats up in my sleep
Ain't prayed in a minute but you know I got to keep the piece
This shit is deep
On the war line against our own kind
Blame it all on principles when really it was all pride
Wonder why them boys won't hesitate to say they chose a side, cause niggas want protection so it's time to load them clips & ride
Demon time
Look me in my eyes & tell me what you see
Probably look away because this pain inside it runs deep
Boys up in my neighborhood been itching just to start some beef
Patrolling blocks when we don't own no houses on these fucking streets
But its gone change
That's the only way
To really make us great
& really elevate
400 years & we still counting up until this day
It's 2020 man this shit still look fucking the same

Times getting & my people down bad
Made it through the storm, hard times don't last
It is what it is & we can't change the past
Divided us by culture, we just had to do the math
